blaxland Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hello raiders Im wondering what knot you use to tie on clips (no swivel) I was using uni but on a few snags busted of at the clip. With 30lb leader the diameter of the wire in the clip I am using is smaller than the diameter of the black magic leader. Does it cut through? confidence is everything so let me know.

James Clain Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I normally use uni although this is a fair point. You can never go wrong with a Palomar though or even a uni wrapped through the eyelet twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 From stats the Palomar is fractionally ahead of the Trilene in breaking strain but both are worth knowing how to tie. Comes down to ease/time in tying really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfishbig Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 You shouldn't be tying to something with a thinner diammeter than your leader. Ie I think you have answered your own question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie I think you have answered your own question. Trying to keep it unobtrusive the clip is rated to 56 lb the leader and main 30 lb anyway Im going with the surgeons knot (Palomar) as it gives a double strand at contact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
